Ealing Broadway 1938-1957

Posted by Katherine on April 2, 2009 in 20th Century, Books, Local

These photos are of Ealing Broadway from Britain in Old Photographs and are compared with my photos taken this year. This first one was taken in 1938 and shows The Feathers pub, a no. 97 bus to Brentford and the…

Northfields Avenue 1907-1913

Posted by Katherine on February 24, 2009 in 20th Century, Books, Local

Here’s a few more photograph comparisons of Ealing, West London, this time of Northfields Avenue. Again the old photos are from Britain in Old Photographs and the new ones I took a few weeks ago. These all show the junction…

A few more old Ealing photos

Posted by Katherine on January 20, 2009 in 20th Century, Books, Local

I’ve taken a few more photos for comparison, again using the Britain in Old Photographs book, and I expect to post a few more over the weeks as I improve my cropping speed. These two photos above are of High…

Hovis – 122 years in 122 seconds

Posted by Katherine on January 17, 2009 in 20th Century, Television

1970s sweets

Food of the 1970s at its best

Posted by Katherine on June 13, 2008February 22, 2018 in 20th Century, Food, Television

‘The Supersizers go…1970s’ was great fun and made a big change from the previous programmes which have mostly dealt with pretty tasteless, meaty, unhealthy food. Quite the opposite was the problem this week as Giles and Sue conclude that the…

Posted by Katherine on June 10, 2008May 30, 2014 in 20th Century, Exhibitions

Today I visited the Imperial War Museum London, where I looked around most of the exhibits but I specifically looked through the Victoria Cross and George Cross gallery, which is a small section of the museum that is often missed…
